Gasper’s words were slightly hurried as he responded.
"Yes, sir!"
"Yesterday at dawn, Werner Nek of Pulder Town and Mateo Foster, the Manor Lord of Rasio Town, gathered the guards and peasants from their manors in Kakasong City!"
Lynn frowned slightly, "How many guards and peasants did the two Manor Lords summon?"
Gasper answered without hesitation.
"It’s night, sir, and due to limited visibility, a detailed count was not possible."
"But I roughly estimated the total number to be less than five hundred!"
"Apart from carrying a weapon, they were not equipped with any armor."
Lynn gave an approving look to Gasper and said.
"The intelligence you provided this time is timely and also very important to me!"
"Is there anything else to report?"
"Like, Jon Zuck inviting a lord to Kakasong City?"
"Or Jon Zuck leaving Kakasong City to visit another city?"
Gasper furrowed his brows and began to think quickly.
A few seconds later.
Gasper responded, "Sir, I cannot confirm that."
"However, according to reports from my subordinates."
"In the past few days, there have been no noble lords entering Kakasong City in luxurious carriages."
"Nor have any luxurious carriages departed from the Viscount’s Castle..."
Lynn nodded, just about to speak.
Gasper suddenly said, "However, sir, there were a few knights riding fast horses leaving Kakasong City at night."
"I do not know where they went..."
Lynn repeated Gasper’s words.
"Fast horses, huh? I understand."
"If there’s nothing else to report, you may leave."
"Tell the spies to strengthen surveillance on Kakasong City."
"Should any unusual situations arise, immediately return to the Manor Castle and report to me!"
Gasper bowed and took leave.
"Yes, sir, Gasper takes his leave."
Watching Gasper mount his horse, turn its direction, and accelerate to ride away from Morgan Town.
Only then did Lynn withdraw his gaze and continue towards the fields ahead.
Lynn quickly pondered in his mind.
The two Manor Lords only gathered two thousand guards and peasants for the attack on Morgan Town...
Much less than he had previously imagined!
Lynn previously thought.
Even if these Manor Lords were careless and mobilized all their armed forces from their manors.
Each Manor Lord would at least summon a thousand guards and peasants.
In other words.
Werner and Mateo, the two Manor Lords, only gathered an average of over seven hundred people.
For him, this is naturally a good thing!
The more selfish these Manor Lords are, the fewer guards and peasants they gather.
The greater chance he has of gaining victory in this battle.
As long as Jon Zuck’s supporters and Manor Lords with forces are defeated.
He can deploy armored cavalry anytime to the various small towns and destroy one manor after another!
Regarding what Gasper said, the knights rode fast horses and left Kakasong City under the cover of night...
There are various possibilities!
Night reconnaissance, pursuit of fugitives, escorting information, secret diplomacy, etc.
But regardless of the intention.
Lynn can fully respond with the worst possible oute!
Which is.
Jon Zuck wrote a letter for these knights to deliver other lords’ territories, requesting military assistance!
Thinking of this.
Lynn’s already tense disposition became even tighter once again.
He must quickly melt the tree resin in the Manor Castle and spread it in the forest.
Additionally, he must speed up the Free People and farmers’ efficiency in harvesting crops!
Once the war es, there will no longer be the safe environment they currently have for harvesting labor.
Approaching the group of people harvesting crops, Lynn summoned a soldier to bring Gavin.
A few minutes later.
Gavin came running to Lynn’s side with large strides.
Gavin bowed respectfully and spoke.
"Sir."
Seeing Gavin appeared to have bee slightly more tanned, Lynn spoke deeply.
"Starting today, cancel the farmers’ midday rest time."
"Inform the kitchen chef to transport the cooked food to the fields."
"After lunch, farmers should immediately engage in harvesting labor."
Gavin’s eyebrows rose as he hurriedly responded.
"Yes, sir! Gavin will promptly issue the directives!"
Lynn acknowledged with a word and directly dismissed Gavin.
Although Jon Zuck hasn’t gathered all his supporting Manor Lords yet.
For him, the sooner he pletes harvesting these fields, the better!
Sweeping his gaze over the farmers ahead.
Lynn noticed a peculiar and puzzled expression on their faces.
A feeling that seemed like, it should be this way!
For the peasants, middle rest time and hot food are not to be expected.
If they had a slice of rye bread, they would have been grateful to the Manor Lord!
Despite having enjoyed lunch prepared by Lord Master Lynn in recent days.
Now, hearing Lord Master Lynn’s orders to Gavin Agricultural Officer...
All farmers looked at Lynn with eyes full of admiration and reverence.
Lynn naturally took the look of the farmers into account.
